NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly recently expressed her inherent skepticism around the possibility of Joe Biden running for yet another term as President of the United States given his falling age.

President Biden turned 81 on November 20 and the debate around whether he can last through another term sped up significantly.

Kelly weighed in on this debate that has been going around and questioned whether the world is ready for an “86-year-old Biden.”

Megyn Kelly questions Joe Biden’s other term as President of the United States

Kelly had invited Emily Jashinsky, culture editor for The Federalist, and Eliana Johnson, co-host of the Ink-Stained Wretches podcast, to discuss the possibility of President Biden lasting through another term and the new emerging polls showing disapproval of Biden’s presidency.  

She started the segment and stated, “How is this man going to make it through five more years of being President? One and then if he wins re-election, another four. He’s 81.”

Kelly stressed the importance of Biden’s diminishing age and said, “Can you imagine an 86-year-old Joe Biden? Just the other day he played a clip of him just three years ago when he was running and he seemed so much more spry than he does today.”

However before anyone could question Kelly’s motives, she clarified that this statement for President Biden is “not coming from a nasty place.”

Kelly clarified, “I don’t mean to sound nasty. It’s not coming from a nasty place. It’s coming from an observational place. I don’t think he can do it.” 

Talking about President Biden’s stats, Kelly told her viewers that the President’s approval rating is now at “40%, a dip of six points last January, disapproval is at 57, which is up by seven points from last January.”

She also stated that “63% of Independents disapprove of President Joe Biden.”

Internet agrees with Megyn Kelly’s opinion on President Joe Biden

One user wrote, “Bidenis 81 years old but has the mental and physical vitality of a 91-year-old, whereas President Trump is 76 but has that of a 56-year-old. That's the difference.”

“I've known many a spry and mentally active 81-year-olds, and older. Biden's problem isn't his age, it's his loss of cognitive abilities. His wandering at Arlington on Veterans Day was embarrassing,” said another.

Another quipped, “How would We survive 5 more years of him??? The next 5 days are hard enough to imagine.”



 

A user compared him to another leader and mocked, “Moraji Desai became PM of India at the age of 81 but, he was sharp as a tack. He was sharp and switched on. Biden is not.”

A user slammed him and said, “And he's on vacation AGAIN this week. Meanwhile, Americans are hostage and are being attacked in the Middle East daily. It's criminal.”
